The Patriots are signing veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million for the 2023 season, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
After Elliott spent seven seasons with the Cowboys, Dallas opted to release the veteran in the offseason and move forward with Tony Pollard as their top running back. Elliott took a few visits in free agency, which included a visit to New England in late July.
In 2022, Elliott totaled a career-low 876 rushing yards but still scored 12 touchdowns in 15 games. Rapoport also reports Elliott will wear his college No. 15 after being No. 21 in Dallas.
